Earth Day Virtual Story Time with Ms. Julie – Family

Opening Song

Book: Green on Green by Dianne White, illustrated by Felicita Sala (Beach Lane Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster)

Song: “Leaves, Branches, Trunk and Roots” (Tune: “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”)
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (under the ground)
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (under the ground)
The leaves grow up and the roots grow down
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (under the ground)

Song: “This is the Way to Help Mother Earth” (Tune: “Mulberry Bush”)
This is the way we pick up trash,
pick up trash, pick up trash.
This is the way we pick up trash
To help our Mother Earth.

This is the way we turn off the light,
we turn off the light, we turn off the light,
This is the way we turn off the light,
To help our Mother Earth.

This is the way we plant a seed,
plant a seed, plant a seed,
This is the way we plant a seed,
To help our Mother Earth.
